I'm torn. RoG is, overall, probably the most effective, atmospheric, story-appropriate score of the era.
But the Ifukube scores just make me happy. They evoke so much memory, so much excitement.
I think I'm gonna go with GvsKG. When I listen to that score independently, it makes me think about all the best things in the movie, and none of the worst.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.
